“democracy is not perfect, but at least we never had to put a wall up to keep our people in”
-JFK, 1961

A better description would be a classless, moneyless and stateless society with common ownership of the means of production.

[GhostSoldierful]

Everyone is equal under communism, but some are more equal than others.

The problem with communism is it is very ambitious. The thought of jumping over to national level without going over the basics. It hasn't iron out its flaws yet it was implemented in a national level which caused the direct deaths of hundreds of millions. The idea itself is flawed same as a research that failed. We must not be arrogant to think it doesn't have a flaw without getting scrutinized by people. It must prove itself first if it wants recognition.

The reason why a successful communist society doesnt exist, is because communism is perverted by bad and greedy people who uses communism as an excuse to benifit themselves, yeah communism doesnt sound like a bad idea, where everything is benificial to all but in order to lead a communist society, you must overcome aspects of human nature such as greed and etc

So far one of the only successful and actually a nice socialist/communist nation in history is africa's burkina faso led by thomas sankara who was technically or an actual good communist leader who led socialism and tried to aim for communism with humanity in his heart, but of course burkina faso isnt communust today due to the assasination of Thomas Sankara who was assasinated by ofcourse a US Backed assasin

Does this mean a brain surgeon would get the same pay as a cleaner??

[melboytorres]

If I image I am a factory worker with same expected salary at the end of the month as everyone else in the company, I will just sleep 🥱 in the corner

[dazhibernian]

It's a bad idea. A better idea would be to have the top 1% owning all the wealth & everyone else toiling to survive using food banks.

[netherwarrior]

In theory, yes, but it is essentially impossible to have a perfect communism society. To have that, every single person in the society would have to have the exact same ideals, no change in opinions. Their might be some other issues but I haven’t researched this topic enough. Again, good idea, but almost impossible to put into action and or not get corrupted.

[NamelessBibleHermit]

🤣☠️ And people think this is exactly how it would go!🤣☠️

[mangolassi]

I believe communism would be great with the ideals that it has, but the way people think really messes it up.

[cyntreciaholden]

Equally poor and under the government boot.

[leamgodfrey]

How do you make sure everyone is pulling there weight equally too.

[louditalian]

My ass. Stalin was king and Fidel was King. Fidel did what he wanted, had a different women every day, are what he wanted, drove the best cars and lived in luxury while we the people of Cuba starved and got beaten if we complained. There is no equality

[lucyk]

Russia isn't communist. Greed is what keeps it from being so. It's a nice idea but greed at the top prevents this every time. Plus what motivates people to go that extra mile. You need something in between.

[MarquiDeSade]

Equally poor equally starving oppressed. People of Cuba love it so much they try to escape. Venezuelans love it so much, the walk to America.

[Daniel-lnyh]

Everything owned by people souns nice. But then you realize that its only on paper, and actually everything is owned by the representatives of the people.
Everything is owned by the government

[jayrene]

It lays a natural foundation and sets up the perfect conditions for totalitarianism dictatorships too . Now does that sound bad to you?

[TheGIGuy-ohfp]

Cuban here, yes and communism and socialism everybody is equal, equally poor equally starving equally oppressed so yes there is equality for all!! Trust me it’s not the kind of equality you want
